Nigeria women’s interim head coach Christopher Danjuma named Asisat Oshoala as the team’s new captain, replacing Desire Oparanozie who was appointed by the gaffer, Thomas Dennerby.
This is coming just 24 hours after Sports Minister Sunday Dare waded into the saga between Dennerby and the Nigeria Football Federation after the Swede threatened to quit due to interference.
In a series of tweets on the matter, Dare disclosed he is working to resolve the issues, having urged the NFF to allow Dennerby to continue with his Super Falcons’ job.
I have personally stepped into the matter of Thomas Dennerby, the Coach of Super Falcons. I received a brief this morning and will proceed to seek a quick resolution to ensure he continues to Coach Nigeria’s female team.
